RMKS/1. THIS IS A JOINT MESSAGE FROM DC, I&L AND C4. PURPOSE:
THIS MARADMIN ESTABLISHES POLICY WHICH WILL BE ADHERED TO CONCERNING
COMPUTING TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR ADPE.
2. CURRENTLY THERE ARE ALPHA TAMCNS (A-TAMCN) AND HOTEL TAMCN
(H-TAMCN) ASSIGNED TO ADPE. ALLOWANCES FOR A-TAMCNS ARE ESTABLISHED
WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION'S TABLE OF EQUIPMENT (T/E). ALLOWANCES FOR
H-TAMCNS ARE IDENTIFIED ON ORGANIZATION'S T/E "AS REQUIRED" THERE-
FORE ALLOWANCES ARE ESTABLISHED ANNUALLY BY COMMANDER MARINE FORCES
ATLANTIC/PACIFIC/RESERVES (COMMARFOR LANT/PAC/RES). IN ACCORDANCE
WITH REF A THIS AUTHORITY CAN BE DELEGATED IN WRITING TO THE MSC AND
COMMANDERS OF BASES/POSTS/STATIONS.
3. UPON RECEIPT OF THIS MARADMIN THE FOLLOWING POLICY APPLIES:
A. COMMARFORLANT/PAC/RES ARE NO LONGER AUTHORIZED TO ESTABLISH
ANNUAL ALLOWANCES FOR THOSE H-TAMCN THAT APPLY TO LAPTOPS, DESKTOPS,
OR SERVERS (H80332B/H81002B/H81102B/H23117G/H81202B/H81302B/H81402B
FOR LAPTOPS, H80002B/H80012B/H80022B/H80032B/H80352B/H82302B/H80322B/
H82002B FOR DESKTOPS, AND H83002B/H83302B/H83402B FOR SERVERS) NOR
ARE THEY AUTHORIZED TO DELEGATE THIS AUTHORITY TO THE MSCS OR
COMMANDERS OF BASES/POSTS/STATIONS.
B. TOTAL ALLOWANCE FOR LAPTOPS, DESKTOPS, AND SERVERS WILL BE
THOSE ALLOWANCE QUANTITIES LISTED UNDER THE CORRESPONDING A-TAMCN
(A90002B, A91002B, AND A25467G FOR LAPTOPS, A92002B AND A93002B FOR
DESKTOPS AND A94002B, A95002B, AND A25487G FOR SERVERS) WITHIN THE
ORGANIZATION'S T/E.
C. ON HAND QUANTITIES LISTED UNDER H-TAMCN FOR LAPTOPS, DESK-
TOPS, AND SERVERS, PLUS ON HAND FOR A-TAMCN FOR LAPTOPS, DESKTOPS,
AND SERVERS, WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL ALLOWANCE QUANTITY IDENTIFIED
UNDER THE A-TAMCN. EXAMPLE: ALLOWANCE QUANTITY FOR A9300 DESKTOP ON
T/E EQUALS 300. ON HAND QUANTITY RESIDENT ON PROPERTY RECORDS FOR
H8200 DESKTOP EQUALS 200, ON HAND QUANTITY RESIDENT ON PROPERTY
RECORDS FOR A9300 DESKTOP EQUALS 125. TOTAL ON HAND DESKTOP EQUALS
325, ORGANIZATION HAS AN EXCESS QUANTITY FOR DESKTOPS OF 25. THERE-
FORE, UNITS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO REQUEST DISPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR 25 H8200, IN ORDER TO REDUCE ON-HAND (A9200 PLUS H8200) TO EQUAL
TOTAL ALLOWANCE OF 300.
4. ON-HAND H-TAMCN HARDWARE WILL NOT BE CONVERTED TO A-TAMCN.
H-TAMCNS DO NOT MEET MINIMUM CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS FOR A-TAMCNS.
5. UNITS WILL SUBMIT REQUESTS FOR DISPOSITION OF ADPE/AUTOMATED
RESOURCES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDANCE/PROCEDURES OUTLINED
WITHIN REF B.
6. RATIONALE. IT HAS COME TO THE ATTENTION OF THIS HEADQUARTERS THAT
ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVING THE A-TAMCN ITEMS ARE NOT REQUESTING DISPOSI-
TION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE REPLACED H-TAMCN ITEMS. THIS IS CAUSING
EXCESSES TO EXIST WITHOUT PROPER JUSTIFICATION. BY ESTABLISHING ALL
ALLOWANCES FOR LAPTOPS, DESKTOPS, AND SERVERS UNDER THE A-TAMCN, AND
DISPOSING OF CORRESPONDING H-TAMCNS AS A-TAMCNS ARE RECEIVED,
H-TAMCNS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM MC INVENTORY WITHIN THE NEXT THREE
YEARS.
7. FSMAOS ARE TASKED WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REVIEWING PROPERTY
RECORDS DURING ANALYSES TO ENSURE THIS POLICY IS ADHERED TO.//
